I forgot about this thread. I have not seen this before. I have not used the dkms bnx2i driver before though. Cent OS 5.4 has a native bnx2i driver and the iscsi-initiator-utils tools that come with 5.4 support bnx2i. Try them out. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
